CANAJOHARIE, N.Y. —
The Canajoharie Elks Club recently named Oppenheim-Ephratah fifth-grader Hannah Getman the winner of the “What the Pledge of Allegiance Means to Me” essay contest.
Oppenheim-Ephratah fifth-grader Casey Watson won second place.
Fifth-grade writing and English Language Arts teacher Kathleen Oppenheimer said the essay contest helps students with English, writing and social studies.
“I think it’s important because our social studies units revolve around U.S. history,” she said. “It’s kind of tying in the history with ELA and writing.”
